Time and Quantum timelessness

[Yerda]

Religious, but also political. David Firth's response is sort of an example,

I see.

This talk called "Space-Time is Doomed" might interest you:

I've heard Arkani-Hamed isn't alone in thinking that fundamental physics has to jettison spacetime but I have to admit I don't meet a lot of physicists.

I watched it and found it very informative if one has the patience with some interest and background in math and physics. The problem is that much of it is heavy physics and math. A great deal of the video is emphasizing the importance of the smallest unit of measurement in physics of one planck units of time, length and mass, in understanding the boundaries between classical mechanics and general relativity, and the timeless world of Quantum Mechanics.

The video brought out the point that the infinitely small breaks down at one plank unit in length.

It is a bit of hyperbole that space/time is doomed. Space/time still works well in our universe, but only to the limit of one planck unit in time, length or mass. Beyond this space/time breaks down to a timeless Quantum World. The following from my previous reference describes some of what was in the video you referenced.

"The timeless formulation of quantum mechanics follows from the underlying theory when the mass of the particle is much smaller than Planck mass. On the other hand, when the particle's mass is much larger than Planck mass, space/time emerges and the underlying theory should reduce to classical mechanics and general relativity."
